What the third decan of Libra is read as
The third decan of Libra is read as carrying a touch of Gemini and Mercury. It is the wittiest Libra and the least settled. People here tend to win arguments by making everyone laugh, to fall for conversation, and to find it hard to pick just one thing when several sound good.
What the number 7 adds
Numerology reads a birthday that comes to 7 as the mark of a thinker. It tends to mean a need for time alone, a mind that wants the real reason, and a small circle who have earned being let in.
